Artisan Haven

Hello, my name is Amanda Ryan, and I’m the co-founder of Artisan Haven—a curated artisan boutique and community-driven marketplace. Artisan Haven will be a one-of-a-kind retail experience, blending a boutique, artisan marketplace, and specialty coffee & wine bar under one roof.

Consumers today are moving away from mass-produced goods, seeking authenticity, craftsmanship, and community-driven experiences—yet small artisans struggle to reach customers in a meaningful way. That’s where Artisan Havencomes in.

We are currently seeking $500,000 in seed investment to open our first physical location in Brooksville, Florida. We already have 25+ artisans excited to join our boutique, with several vendors already pre-paying for three months in advance—proving there’s strong demand for our model before we even open our doors.

Additionally, the City of Brooksville and surrounding businesses are fully supportive of this venture, eager to see Artisan Haven become a community hub that drives foot traffic and revitalizes local retail.

Artisan Haven will be a beautifully designed artisan boutique and café experience featuring:

We will create an irresistible shopping experience where customers don’t just buy products—they become part of a movement.

With this momentum, Artisan Haven will be the go-to destination for unique, high-quality, locally made goods.

Artisan Haven will generate revenue through multiple high-margin streams:

Once proven, this model is highly scalable. We plan to expand into multiple boutique locations within 3-5 years, with a $25M+ revenue goal.
